Topic.

Mega Man X on the SNES was literally the first game I remember playing :D Ever since, I usually equated anything with "Mega Man" in the title to equal awesome, and I remember debating with my sister as to what Mega Man games I had on the NES :P
-
Played Mega Man, Mega Man 4, Mega Man V, and Mega Man 7 as a kid. Didn't really think anything of it.
Years later, I get introduced to Mega Man X1.
HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLY
So then I'm playing all the MMX's I can find, buying a copy of MM1 off eBay, next thing you know, I'm hooked. Bought Mega Man X5 in Washington D.C. for the bro that introduced me to MMX1 (both our jaws dropped when we heard Bubble Crab's stage theme again), and I've been a big fan since. And between Black Hole creation, Absolute Zero weaponry, in addition to Time Control skills, that these Reploids might very well be the deadliest forces in all of superhero fiction.
-
Either Sprites Inc or the Ruby Spears cartoon that was on a Saturday Morning cereal box cartoon lineup or maybe when I was introduced to ROMS and EMULAITON. After that, it's how it pretty much went. During that time I had an NES and a few Super Mario Bros games to say the least.
Before I forget, I think there was MML, MM8, and MMX4 too that got me into it.
-
I've always been into videogames. Ever since I held my first NES controller. They were so clunky and unergonomic. Great. Now I loved robots (who doesn't?) and when I saw MM3 being played I immediatly knew I liked it.
-
Megaman X, Thats how.
-
I always loved Megaman, but that was due mostly to the show. XD
It wasn't until one day I was bored and tinkering with my old PC trying to get a SNES emulator running on it (a hell of a task for a 8 - 9 year old me) that I got to experience the godliness of Megaman X. I was in total awe, no dialogue, no setup, I just got beamed in, kickass music started playing and I was sold. XD
-
I was looking for something to get on my Wii Virtual Consle, and figured I'd try Mega Man 1. I sucked at it, but I enjoyed it somewhat. I then decided to try Mega Man X on a SNES emulator. I sucked at that too, but enjoyed it alot, so then I tried X2 & X3, and eventually played Mega Man 2, 3 & 9. From there I just play whatever Mega Man game I can get for an emulator (except BN & SF games). Note all this happened only 6 months ago.
-
TAKE NOTES, CAPCOM.
[spoiler]Oh wait, Maverick Hunter X. Nevermind.[/spoiler]
-
Note all this happened only 6 months ago.
It's never too late to become a MM fan!
-
Well, IIRC, the first Megaman game I played was X1 in a CD that I had some looong time ago [which reminds me, I never beat it thanks to the water in Launch Octopus not being transparent as it was in the SNES]. It also happened to pirated.
So in the end buying a pirated copy of a game ended up helping Capcom. OH THE IRONY
-
MegaMan 3, waaay back in the day. It was challenging (back then) without being frustrating, and the easily manipulated password system let me start basically anywhere and anyhow I wanted.
-
Lizsama's artwork and Sonic HQ's other site (which was in shambles even then) introduced me to Megaman, and Anniversary Collection got me truly interested...when I got better at it, anyway.
-
洛克人外传- 威利博士的阴谋
(Rockman side-story - Dr. Wily's Plot)
A Rockman manga based on NES Rockman 2.
-
A cousin of mine brought a floppy with Megaman 1-6 (oddly, with the exception of 5, which I never played until MMAC) and an emulator, and copied them to my PC. The first game I played was MM6, it was love at first sight or something like that.
-
You know, I could've swore we had a topic like this. But I couldn't find it.
Anyway, my first exposure to Mega Man was the Ruby Spears cartoon. I never actually played a Mega Man game till X6.
-
Back in the 80's, kid me was looking through a local rental place. I went through various boxes trying to decide what to play. I picked up Megaman 2's box noting the box art which was probably kind of cool by my standards back then. Hey it had robots shooting at each other. Kids are easy to impress. I check the back, sure enough it's about robots shooting at each other.
I take it home and take a beating at the hands of everyone but bubbleman, but eventually manage to beat all 8 (Only in later attempts did I learn to take out Metalman first). Well time was up on the rental before beating it but shortly after Megaman 3 was released and my parents got it for me on my next birthday. MM3 I beat countless times and became hooked on the series.

Haha, someone I can relate to. Ruby Spears when i was little, right before school.
later, it stopped airing, and I kind of forgot about Megaman.
then I got a game called Power Quest, and the cover charcter reminded me of Megaman cuz he was a blue robot VAGUELY similar. Plus, the "Enemy" version was always red, so I imagined Megaman and Protoman.
some years later, when I had the PS1, I came across Meaman 8 at Toys R us, and remembered Megaman, and bought it. then came X5, and then X4.
Lol, I sucked so much at them.
-
It could have been any one of the first three NES games, I can't really recall due to my age at the time (4), and they were rentals. X1 is probably where I really got into the series though. Rented the game once and was hooked.
Yeah, we did have this topic in the past, but chances are it was lost during one of the several purges.
-

Me too, but I only saw it a couple of times. Didn't have that many cartoons I watched regularly... Maybe Animaniacs, right after school. When I saw Megaman 6 times in a row on NES game lists, I thought, "Wow, 6 games based on that silly show? How good can they be if they're based on a cartoon?" Later I saw someone actually play Megaman 4 on an emulator, and I recognized it as Megaman, except I thought he looked a little too small...
-
Before I move here in the desert, my dad bought me a GBA with a cartridge of games in it. Mostly there's old games in it but the top 3 on the list I remembered are Megaman Battle Network 6 Gregar, Falzar and Naruto. I mostly played Naruto because I know who Naruto is and then when I finished the game, I played MMBN 6. I thought it is some shitty anime game (I don't know why am I thinking of that when I was young). o~O My twin wants to play the Gregar, while I play the Falzar version. So yeah, it was fun fighting, and I think Megaman is cute.
-
My brother got X5 for some girl who never played it. Since he liked it, he bought another for him.
When I saw the cover, I said: "Oh wow, Is this beautiful girl the Hero?"
No, but it was Zero! XD Good times, good times.
-
Well my first encounter with a megaman game was when my friend rented MM4, after a while I just saw the RubySpears cartoon and soon enough I chose to get MM 8 when my family bought a Playstation. I was introduced to the X series with MMX4 shortly after and then I just started playing all the other games on emulators. And now here I am, still playing MM9 and waiting for new developments on the MM8 FC project. XD
-
When I saw the cover, I said: "Oh wow, Is this beautiful girl the Hero?"
No, but it was Zero! XD Good times, good times.
Damn that seductive and sexually confusing Zero!
-
Played MM2 (GB) as a kid, and liked it.
Played about an hour of MMX when a friend brought it over when he came to visit, and found it awesome.
And I played MM8 when me and my sister got a PS1 as a gift, that's when I got hooked on the series...
...
...Also I love blue bots.
-
how did i ever find this series interesting...
oh right, i played one of the famicom games as a kid, completely forgot about it, then like 5-6 years ago, read B&G, "acquired" every game at the time, and went on a rock/megaguy binge.
... there is absolutely nothing wrong with me |:
-
My first Mega Man game was Mega Man
-
mine too
that CutMan had a nice tune
-
And a sooner date of death than the rest. He was my first.
-
Damn that seductive and sexually confusing Zero!

NES Megaman 1 borrowed from my uncle. It was a pirate cartridge (on the label it was Rockman, I remember I liked that name more) for my fantastic Famiclone. I managed to defeat only Iceman before giving it back.
-
That Pink cartridge caught my attention... :V
It was Rockman 3 owned by my young uncles they were at their teens while I'm about 6-7 yrs old at that time. I always saw them playing Rockman 3 most often with Magnet Man stage having a hard time then I always said to myself that I can do better. XD
-
it all started with me and my bro playing X2

...
HOLYSHITARETHOSELASERCOINGATYOUOMG!!!!!
OMGTHATDUDEJUSTDIED!!!!!
OMGTHATGUYISHUGEKILLIT!!!!!
...yea basicly we found it awesome
me a little more than him, so...
i started diving into the classic megaman
and here i am 8D
-
For me i always went over to my next door neighbor's house every day or so playing their NES. I didn't have one at time, i wasn't freeloading or anything, just was friend with this guy named "auguie" Or something like that. We were probably both 7 years old. I once saw this older guy playing megaman 3. I wanted to play right ? And this person put in a password for me starting right at the wily stages.
I think that was my first true experience ever. Had no clue that it was near the end of the game. But i did play it from the start before once, and i got really addicted and liked it. :) Eventually i got a NES of my own + megaman 3 and loved it.
megaman 2 was my 2nd ever mm experience, and that was great too. I just eventually got really interested in the megaman series after that throughout my life. :)
And then back in 2005 is when i got into the ROM hacking scene, wanting to make my own rom hack of megaman 3 :)
-
you want to know my story
it was 1991 i guess, and there i got megaman 3, i was like 6-7 and my mom buy me a game when i can select the stages when i want, and play as a weird blue guy, that can select a dog and turn white and red, and i alwas think, that was the biggest conbination ever, and so i enjoyed this game, tough never managed to get far in the game, until many yers later, but over the eyars, i played most megaman games on NES.
the next one was megaman 4, wich i like it at the time, but it was too weird for me, and later, by 1992, i played megaman 5, and at the time, i did love it, especially the music and graphics, and even so, i used to think it was the best megaman game, and one time i remember rent the game Mappyland from a videopstore, and i dint like it, so i trew a fit so my dad will rent me megaman 5..........yes i was a very idiotic kid, especially now since i realized how poorly and average megaman 5 really is IMHO
and believe or not, at the same time, i discovered megaman 2, i try it, and i hate it, YES, Hate it, the controls were different, it feels like the blue guy was attached to the ground when i jump, the sounds were different, you cant replay the stages that you'd beaten, and overrall, i dint like it very much, and it was like 93 when i tried for the 1st time, BEFORE we moved temporally trough a house that was our uncle's, and BEFORE i get my super nintendo, and at the time, i used to hate megaman 2, believe it or not yes, i used to hate this game, tough i actually managed to get trough Willy stage 3, but the last part i remembered was the giant fishes.
and again, i guess before i get my SNES (sorry, i cant remember well), i played megaman 6, and love it so much, but that's it, and then moved to SNES and played megaman X
ut overral i still love megaman 3 and for me its the best megaman game aver, i cant really imagine why inafune considers 3 to be the black sheep of the family, to me, that title goes to 5.
oh and the funny (and sad) part is, I NEVER, NEVER, EVER played Megaman 1 (at least legitly)
-
I had a friend during the summer who played this "game" (it was Megaman Battle Network 2), and he let me play with it, and even let me borrow it for a day! I fell in love with the game etc etc.
Soon after, my other good friend gave me Battle Network 4 Red Sun for free! I thanked him so much ;_;

Dude I love this post.

Well when I was very young (like when I was 3-5 (1991-93) I used to go over to "Grandma Mario's" house, she was the only relative with a video game system so that's why I had that name for her, and I used to play her NES all the time. Playing through SMB3 and Contra several times. Well then I took notice of another game she had, Mega Man 4. I loaded it up and tried out Pharaoh Man's stage and I was hooked. This game was really hard (remember I was like 4), but the music was awesome and the challenge was a lot of fun and that's what kept me hooked and trying hard to win. Eventually when I was 4 or 5 I started to notice things like how certain bosses were weak against certain weapons. I actually figured out all the weaknesses by myself, heck I even found the two special items on my own. In Pharaoh Man's stage I always wanted to try and jump over the pit for some reason and in Dive Man's stage I fell down by accident. Another thing though that primarily still holds true to this day is that I very rarely use special weapons in stages. I still primarily only use the buster to get through.
Flash forward maybe a year and I go over to my friends house because he was able to bring his super nintendo home from his grandma's. Well I go through his collection and I see a game, Mega Man X. He never was too big of a fan, but I popped it in and I was instantly sold on this masterpiece. Me and him would always loan each other games and 9/10 times I always wanted to borrow Mega Man X. Unfortunately though as a younger kid I wasn't able to beat it for a couple years mostly because of either THE [tornado fang]ing SPIDER or final sigma.
After X I went back to the classic series and got Mega Man 8 when I got my PS1 which I thoroughly enjoyed, and from there got X4 and then X5 for PC and so on. Needless to say I was hooked.
To this day my favorite Christmas has got to be when I was in 9th grade. (I had been given my grandma's Mega Man 4 and I found a copy of Mega Man 3 in a shop.) Anyways for this Christmas I had 4 packages all the same size. I opened each one and to much surprise, Mega Man 1, 2, 5, and 6! <3
-
Forte. Really, that's it. Thought Forte looked cool, had a friend that was into Mega Man, said "I wanna play".
Then I tried X4. Oh my god. That was an awesome experience.
-
my friend tanya
-
My brother and I got an NES when we were kids, and he got Mega Man 2. I couldn't play it well but I loved watching my brother play it. And then later on, when my brother acquired SNES and several games froma friend of his who no longer wanted it, Mega Man X was a part of it. Needless to say, after playing it I was hooked the rest of the way.
Sadly I also one of the people believed that X = 10th game of the Mega Man universe. ^^;;
-
Me too, up until I turned it on.
-
I'd say The original Megaman.
-
My dad owned a Game Boy - the original, one of those crazy grey bricks - and had Mega Man III on it. I enjoyed it a lot, especially the music, but I could never complete any of the stages. A few years later, I saw Mega Man Xtreme 2 in a video game shop; recognising the familiar blue protagonist, I bought it. I eventually imported Mega Man Anniversary Collection from the US one Christmas, played through the series, and loved it. Even before that, I used to look through Mega Man HQ's databse of the Robot Master CDs from MM&B. They always fascinated me the most.
So yeah.
-
I think it started, for me, when I read a Megaman X guide in a REALLY OLD Nintendo Power Magazine. Then my liking for Megaman was increased through borrowing a variety of Megaman games from an old buddy of mine that doesn't have internet access.
-
mmx was the first snes game i ever rented
and then tanyip
-
My interest in Mega Man was lit up, when I saw all the Mega Man coverage in Nintendo Power issue 44 (which, incidentally enough, featured most of the submissions to that robot master contest, organized for MM6). 0v0
Later on, when I got a SNES, I eventually rented Mega Man X & Mega Man 7. Needless to say, I've been loyal to the series since then (the Classic, X and Legends series, that is ;)).
Embarrassingly enough, I didn't get to play the NES games, until I acquired the Gamecube version of the Mega Man Anniversary Collection. :-[
One day, I shall acquire a mint NES and those games, for great justice! 8)
-
I was three, my dad bought an NES and asked me which game I wanted to play because he just bought a bunch of games. I pointed at Megaman 4 simply because he was blue, my favorite color. Kept playing and loved it. Then my dad saw Megaman 2 and bought it. Learning that there were more games I would do chores and anything else to bribe my dad into buying more Megaman games for me.
Megaman 4 was my first game ever. I'll always love Megaman.
-
Mega Man 6 and the Ruby-Spears cartoon when I was a wee toddler...
Then it SURGED when I saw Mega Man 9 and bought it.
-
My first Mega Man game was Mega Man 3. I really loved it. Enough that I tried getting it when I got my own NES, but I could never find it anywhere.
-
I first learned of Mega Man when I was a wee little lad, from playing Mega Man 6 and watching that really old cartoon on TV. I became really interested with the debut of the Battle Network series (i.e. that's when I was starting to play Mega Man games regularly.)
-
I started when I tuned in to Kids WB and watched Megaman NT Warrior, but it really started when I got Zero.
-
Megaman 2 was my first game I've ever played. My father often played with the NES when I was a kid, and his favourite games were the Megaman games. So yeah I tried it out myself and was simply amazed. I don't know how old I was back then but it was like 5 years '>.>
I'm 18 now btw
-
Megaman Legends was one of the first games I bought when the playstation came out. Up until then, I just played the games on the demo disk.
-
Battle Network and StarForce for me. They're much more enjoyable to me than the originals.
-
I just kept seeing it everywhere, y'know, being into videogames and all, before actually trying it out one day. Which I was reluctant to do because I knew I'd get obsessed and spend lotsa' money on it.
And here I am.
It was mostly EXE that did it for me, that's not to say that the classic games aren't amazing. 9 has to be one of my favorite games ever.
-
Well, Mega Man is a video game, and I'm interested in most video games, so... yeah... Also, Mega Man X was one of my first games, so... yeah... There's the memories.
-
I love Mega man series. I have been playing this game for one year. I have never got bored and miss any day to play mega man. However my little is a huge fan of Mega man. He brought me in this game. Now My little brother and I waiting for next version of this game.
-
My brother showed me Rockman 3. It instantly became my favorite game of it's time.
-
Some months ago I watched german Let`s plays of the Classic-Series.
It hit me then, that I missed out on a great game series again and I started to get into the topic and by now I`m totally absorbed in it.
-
Funny thing is, my interest never began with the original series, and personally, I don't find them all that great. It all started during the SNES era, when I was about 4-5, and the first games I remember were Mega Man X and X3. Personally, it was like Dragon Ball Z in an even MORE futuristic setting, filled with things that go BOOM!! (Not that I was pro, hell I think I asked my dad a few times to beat a stage for me, and never beat the games until 2 years ago, cheat knowledge in hand).
Then, when the PS1 came around, and forced to choose between MM8 and MMX4. I told my dad, "I wanted the one with the ninja robot!" (Didn't really care if Zero was a guy or a girl, someone with a melee weapon going against thousands of soldiers gets an award in my book). Eventually, I got both, but Mega Man then..."Meh, it's okay."
Only when I bought the MMAC when it came out did I really play the classic series. Even though I promised my dad a race who could go through the series the fastest, lack of a wall jump and "old-school difficulty" put my young mind to go for MM7. And even then, it was as good as 8. Call me what you will, but in general, 16-bit>8-bit. Classic series is fun, don't get me wrong, but I've found a home with the X and Zero series.
What keeps me around, though, is the potential for what the series could be. If they do find a way to expose the series in the right light...pretty much my fantasy realised.
Oh yeah, besides the cable ponytail and booblights, I relate to Zero. A defective robot who eventually sets the world straight from an unsightly mutation? Count me in!
...though until they de-pussify the hair and chest into something a little less like Ruroni Kenshin, I'm gonna dib Fef and Prometheus as mah mains. A guy can make up fanfics to make them look cool, right? 8D
